What's the worst thing about coding?

The programming best practices fights and project managers.

The planning

Other people.

I'm torn between clients, end users and management as to which specific people...

I went through this in my head and I genuinely think the worst thing about coding is everyone assuming you're their free tech support.

Coding

"Can you take a look at the printer?"

The tech support thing wouldn't be so bad if people knew what they were talking about. I had an actual exchange about a year ago, in which upon asking someone about the operating system they were running, they replied "Asus"

???? Wat

Typos not being recognized because your IDE doesn't refresh

PMs who have no fucking clue

Explaining to people why something can't be done

Some one asking for "HACK OTHER'S FB"

Other coders that say you suck :(

The worst thing about coding is:
0. When the power goes out
1. The network goes down.
2. PM micromanagers
3. Meetings
4. Carpal tunnel
5. Other people's code

But I still love it.

The worst thing about coding is that no matter how good you become...
it will almost always make you ask yourself
"Am I good enough? "

But that's also a good thing

People who don't read the T&C before asking me to develop

(My terms had a caveat that you would get free tech support for 2 weeks, this guy contacts me a year later telling me it broke and that I had to fix it)
